If You Could Be Mine by Sara Farizan is a book I’m glad I read. Sahar is in love with her best friend Nasrin. Nasrin is soon to be wed to a man she barley knows. Sahar will do anything to stop their wedding, even change her sex! But, she is afraid of being judged for who she is and with whom she is in love.

If You Could Be Mine is a book that is rare to find. Not many books talk about the LGBTQ+ community in a Middle Eastern country. This book shines a light on questioning sexuality and gender in an oppressive culture.
